Throughout this entire audiobook, I kept thinking, “I know who the bad guy is”. Then the plot would shift, I would think I was wrong, and it would be someone else; yet, I kept having this nagging feeling about who it was; I was right, but it was still an ultimate surprise because I wasn’t 100% sure until it was revealed.

I love this futuristic world; the flying cars and the crazy technology, yet people, and the passions that drive them, are the same as they are today. Eve Dallas is the ultimate Kick Ass Chick, and I am looking forward to continuing this series for a long time. I only have 40 or so more books to go to catch up.....Sara

I am not sure what Roark sees in Eve. She is self centered, bad tempered, totally self absorbed and not interested at all in anything Roark does for a living. She is uninterested in his life, his friends, his social life and his work. She thinks everything revolves around herself. Roark seems pretty healthy mentally and very successful so not sure what he sees in her other than sex which he could get anywhere. I try to keep from getting annoyed from Eve while listening to the story but it is hard to do. I listened to the first book and three from later in the series. Does she improve over time? Doesn't seem to so far. Susan Ericksen does a great job of narration. I might take a break before I listen to number 3.

i have read or listened to all the "in death" books, but going back to the start refreshed many things- like how Roarke got the button in his pocket, how Dallas met Nadine & Peabody. I am enjoying them just as much as the first time!!

second book in the "in death" series, and already cannot stop listening! Susan Ericksen does a finominal job narrating this series so far! she adds the perfect touch to each character, brining their written personae to life!

The write up for this book emphasizes the mystery aspect, but that is not what you will find. This is primarily a romance (I am not a reader of Nora Roberts, so I was surprised). If you want a mildly entertaining story about a woman with the emotional maturity of a 15-year-old, this might be the book for you. This should definitely be in the "romance" genre not the "mystery & thriller."

I did not solve the who-dun-it as quickly as other reviewers, but in any case it was not a surprise - the guilty party met all of the stereotypes. What did not read true was the apparent success of a woman who seems completely unable to separate her personal issues from her work as a police officer. Other than that huge lapse, the story is well developed and unfolds appropriately.

I did not find the narrator engaging. I found her characterizations too broad and laughable. Her diction and pacing are good. If you listen to the sample, you should have a sense if she is a narrator you want to listen to for 10 hours.

The book was originally written in 1995, so I am not going to rant about the ridiculous image of life in the mid 21st century, but I did roll my eyes many times over the silly developments we will soon be living with. (Dallas has so many gadgets on her person at all time, I pictured a Batman-like utility belt).

I will not be reading or listening to any other books in this series, nor will I listen to other books narrated by Erickson. But can anyone explain to me why Roarke has only one name? - like Cher or Madonna, he is only ever referred to as "Roarke".
